INFORMATION WE COLLECT

THRIVE Child Development Centre has adopted a privacy policy that limits what it can do with Personal Information collected through its website, email, or other social media. Personal Information includes information about an identifiable individual (other than name, address, email, and phone number) such as demographic information, information collected through our website, or other information we may collect from you from time to time. Submitted job applications, including resumes and references, would also be included as Personal Information.

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

THRIVE will never sell or disclose Personal Information without purpose. 

Any disclosure to third parties is made on a confidential basis, with the information to be used only for the purposes for which it was disclosed. Your Personal Information may also be shared should THRIVE become part of a merger, amalgamation, joint venture, joint project delivery, or otherwise sell its business or part of its business.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We follow industry standards to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Information. We use a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Information. We do not warrant that the safeguards we have implemented are sufficient to protect Personal Information that you transmit over the Internet.
